00:00In terms of Chelsea, obviously they played last night in Europe, did you watch that game, what did you take from it?
00:07Parts of it, I saw them taking a lot of players off at half-time, so talking about quality.
00:14Semifinal in Europe, taking so many players off and just bringing a bunch of new players in with the same quality.
00:21But that's the Premier League, we all love that, all teams have so much quality, we can all do this.
00:28That's also the nice, that's why this league is so popular.
00:32So, very good team, they mostly showed this for me against us,
00:39to play so good in our stadium tells you how much quality they have.
00:45And just for me as well, you're on 82 points at the moment, you could get to 96,
00:50which would have been enough to have won the title over the last four years previously as well.
00:56How important is it to try and get the maximum that you can between now and the end of the season?
01:01Nah, we are going into these four games trying to win them all of course,
01:06that's what we always want, that's what every player that wears the Liverpool shirt should aim for,
01:12winning a game of football.
01:14I would judge us more on the amount of points we have now compared to teams that won it in the past four games before the end,
01:23because there's definitely a difference if we now were still competing than the games we play now,
01:29because my line-ups will be different towards the one we've had mostly during the last ten months as well.
01:37We're not going to change everyone, but there will be a few players that come into the team,
01:43there will be a certain rotation in the upcoming games.
01:46That's not to say that we're going to lose them, we still have a lot of trust in the players we're going to play now as well.
01:54I think it would be more honest to judges and opponents that we have now compared to the ones that have won the league in the past,
02:01where they still had to fight till the end.
02:04And I think, if I'm correct, that we are on the same amount of points as many other teams that won the league recently,
02:12four games before the end.
